Question: I have a minor intermitent pain between my 5 and 5th rib near the sturnum. Sometimes a little below my breath on the right and also near the sturnum. I did a stress test less than a year ago...very good. And, just did blood panel a month ago...good.

Its not a bad pain but happens a few times daily for about one week

Brief Answer:
get yourself clinically examined and investigated.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
After reading your post, it seems that ryour symptoms can be due to gastritis.
I would advise that you should take an antacid like Omeprazole 40mg once a day before meals along with Domperidone 30 mg for relief from your symptoms.
Avoid spicy and oily foods. Also drink lots of water daily.
If the symptoms persists, get yourself clinically examined and investigated to rule out other causes of your symptoms.
I hope this is helpful to you. If you have any further query, I will be happy to help.
Regards. Thanks.
